Yes buy a step up ring from 46mm to something above so that you can easily clip it I.

Also, do you still use this lens for macro? I never thought of using the 45-200. Any other M43 lenses that might be good (other than the Oly 60mm)?

Is a very heavy setup. Yes, need to manually pre-focus then let the adapter do the rest.

I think it may be the G9 focusing problem. That was why I switch to Canon R6 for wild life photography, since it focusing much faster and more accurate. 100-400 is a good lens, but need a better camera body to match. You may check other UA-cam review about the G9 II, hope it has improve focusing speed.

For sure 200-800 is tempting, although we got smaller aperture at 600mm. I do believe the 200-800 has better images quality than sigma. And also cost more money too. I am looking forward to try it out some days

I control the camera aperture and shutter speed. ISO was using auto.

I don’t know how Olympus 100-300 perform, can’t speak which is better. But I do satisfy the Leica 100-400 and G9 images quality as a walk around combo. Just, I think G9 focusing speed is a bit slow, compared to current Canon and Sony camera. Hope G9 ii can improve that.

@@pixeloffbeat Thanks! Have a good day sir!

Yes, defuse it in Adobe Lightroom

Yes , you need RF adapter

I use Sigma TC

This lens has no weather seal. The Sigma sport version has weather seal , but a lot heavier. Thanks

Currently, I only have Sigma version of 150-600. I have Tamron 70-180mm Sony version, which is also a good lens.

In this setting, lm-ea9 hardly appears to work. (Even if I manually proceed with the approximate focus adjustment and then press the half-shutter, it rarely moves. Bright day, outdoors)

I use my LM-ea7 with long tele lens, hand manual pre-focus is similar what you did. What about the focus mode? Have you use “Phase Detection AF”? I think it is not supported for “Contrast AF”.

Agree! I have also surprise the image quality of the FD 500mm f4.5 as well. Consider the lens is around 40 years old now.

Base on my experience of my canon’s 400 do, rf 100-400 and rf 800 f11, I am quite sure the new canon lens has better image quality than Sigma. I am also looking forward to try it out in the future. Happy shooting 📷

200-800 is sealed against what Canon describes as light weather conditions

For the image noise, I guess F9 is a bit better than F11. Of cause, the new lens is a bit heavier also, need to try it out and decide it is right for you.

@@pixeloffbeat I was thinking that cropping the 600 f11 to 800mm makes it like an 800 f15 so it'd be like going from f15 to f9 but with the penalty of more weight which seems inevitable to have high-quality telephoto glass.

@@WestVirginiaWildlife The thing about cropping any lens to make it "just like" a long lens is that you have to remember that you can also crop the longer lens to make it "just like" something even longer! Of course, cropping anything in post is never really " just like" anything. It's always better to shoot with a longer lens in the camera, no matter how many "spare" pixels you have.

@@alansach8437 Yeah, using a smaller section of the glass is going to be worse irrespective of aperture equivalency. So I'd get 33% more reach using the full width of the glass and it would have 1.5 stops less noise.

What did you end up doing? I'd think the Canon 100-500 would be good if weight is an issue. I currently have the Sigma 150-600. The weight is not an issue for me as I also own the Canon 500 f/4 (and boy that thing is HEAVY).

why even bother with TC? just crop in post

Sorry, I don’t have any new lens photos. Base on Canon previous lens’s quality, I am sue they manufacture better lens, the only concern I have is it’s market price. For less than half of the market price, we already has a similar lens. And I can even take off the TC when I want a bit bigger aperture. Thanks for the comment.

​@pixeloffbeat you should be comparing the 200-800 with the Sigma 150-600 Sport, not the Contemporary, as it's closer in performance and price.

Sure Canon got great lens, I am looking forward to try it out too. Thanks for your comment.

Of course, the Sigma is also made for the EF mount, and even Sigma says it's "not compatible " with Canon mirrorless cameras. Perhaps an RF version (whenever it finally happens) might be better?

I’ve used EF mount lenses on 3 different Canon Mirrorless cameras with the Canon adapter. They all worked flawlessly.

@@paullanoue5228 Yes they work flawlessly but newer RF lenses are lot more faster in terms of AF, much lighter and you have more stabilization. I had used sigma for 4 years and quite good experience but after switching to RF 100-500, the difference is night and day in terms of speed.

Yes, all photos using Sigma Contemporary.

I am a hobbyist, there has no scientific analyze here. Just some old photos using Canon r6 and Sigma 150-600 with TC-1401.

Sure, Sigma 150-600 is a great beginner lens. Happy shooting.

​@@pixeloffbeatЗачем тратить лишние деньги? Я просто подхожу к белому медведю как можно ближе, и мой 70:200/2,8 делает прекрасные снимки! Медведь тоже понимает,что не так часто ему приходится позировать среди льдов Арктики! А тут такая фотосессия в канун Нового года 🌲🐻📸

Have you got the Sigma lens firmware updated? I did find some image quality degrade while attaching Sigma 1.4x together with the 150-600. But, when attached to the new Canon rf 2x (adapter hack). The image quality is much better than Sigma version. Although, I am a hobbyist, I don’t compare them scientific accurately. I might have lucky, got a better copy. Anyway, I think the new Canon lens sure better than Sigma every ways. I also looking forward to buy one and try it out, I do quite like the 800mm f11 lens. Lightweight and fast autofocus. Just need to use it on bright day time 😀

I also love my Canon R6 with 800mm F11 that has light weight and good image quality. @noPrinting

I'm also on the fence for the 200-800, instead of the sigma 150-600, because of the terrible focus pulsing.

This 100-400 is a good lens. If new G9ii has improved focus tracking. It will be worth to own this lens. LMK how it go. 😀

No , I use center focus. G9 bird tracking is not accurate. Hopefully G9ii can improve

Glad it was helpful!

No, this lens is BIG and heavy, is not for wildlife. As a hobbyist, this is a good budget alternative for the modern 400mm F2.8. A collectible lens

look at 400 f3,5 ED Ais, It's more manageable, and supports tc 1.4x well (even the tc301(2x))

This lens is BIG and heavy, but as a hobbyist, this is a good budget alternative for the modern 400mm F2.8. A fun collectible lens I think 😀 happy shooting !!

Good to know. I will try it out sometime. Thanks for the info!

I also have Sigma 150-600mm. Both lens are good lens. Leica 100-400 is great for walk around. When on full frame mirrorless camera, sigma is also very good, but a lot heavier. I did try the Sigma 150-600 on Panasonic G9 though adapter, but the focus is slow and not accurate.

I also have Canon RF 100-400 with R6. I think Canon with RF 100-400 is better, since the Canon camera focus faster and much accurate. Both lens has great sharpness , just canon camera focus better.

Thanks!@@pixeloffbeat
